- Chelsea vs Arsenal played out a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of the Carabao Cup

- Arsenal were without Mesut Ozil and Alexis was only able to start on the bench

- Wenger watched from the stands as he continued his touchline ban

Arsenal traveled to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi final on Wednesday, January 10 and were able to force a strong Chelsea side to a 0-0 to give them the advantage going into the return leg at the Emirates.

The game failed to deliver the type of excitement we saw when both teams met last week at the Emirates in the Premier League where they both played out a 2-2 draw in the game of the season contender.

Arsenal were dealt a massive blow when captain of the day and no doubt Arsenal's best player on the pitch came off injured and was replaced by Eleny, Sanchez also came on for Lacazette but he failed to get on the score-sheet.

Chelsea finished the game strongly but could not breach the Arsenal defence line ahead of the return fixture which will be at the Emirate.

Both teams will be desperate for a ticket to face Bristol City or Manchester City in the final at Wembley.
